Contrasting Colors Addiction

Mix up your colors!! In an art aspect contrasting colors compliment each other beautifully. It may seem weird but some gorgeous combinations that you can make are yellow and purple, orange and blue, and green and red. Incorporate these into your makeup!! My favorite combo is yellow and purple. To acheieve this look without looking like your dipped your face on a color pallete is by using subtle shades of yellow and purple. Go for a light gold with a yellow tone all over your lid. Next blend a rose gold shimmery color next to the gold allowing both to show. Next go for a mauve or purple brown, or even plum to blend into your crease and outer corner. Allow the crease color to be subtle enough to wear you dont look like a clown. Blend, Blend, Blend! Add a shimmery ivory or any ivory as a highlight below your brow bone and in the inner corners of your eye. Use a brown pencil for a more subtle day look on the top and bottom lashes or a black pencil or black liquid eyeliner for a more dramatic night time look just on the top. Use a black mascara to make your eyes pop on both upper and lower lashes. For cheeks a subtle mauve is great on the apples of your cheeks with a little bronzer applied on the cheekbones before hand. A fabulous lip color would be a peachy pink lipstick with a pink lipgloss on top. This simple look is beautiful with a floral outfit that is perfect for spring and summer!!
